Brilliant, nerdy fps from Monolith
The company name Monolith used to a staple of high quality (or at least competence) on fps games around the turn of the century. Youngsters may recall the FEAR series, older users might have fond memories of No One Lives Forever. I don't want to commit sacrilege, but I have to say, this game, sandwiched between the two big series, is probably their best effort. Tron 2.O. is an FPS chock full of action, simple yet well constructed puzzles, visuals that aged surprisingly well, a really enjoyable story, fun characters, never before seen weapons and equipment - all in a brilliantly realized environment with it's very own rules and inner workings (though the interface and gameplay is way simpler then for example system shock 2, the tutorial level for this game is about as expansive). Oh, and the puns. Humor is ever-preset throughout this one, and has a certain style, that may or may not drive you up the wall. It mostly consists of tech-related puns, and radically nerdy dad-jokes. If the constant glow effects don't melt your face, these jokes will. Even storywise, Tron 2.0 is a better follow up to Tron than Legacy, when it comes to gameplay (there was an official movie game), the two doesn't even compare. All in all, Tron 2.0 is a class A fps game from on of the all time greats, which still holds up surprisingly well. Highly recommended!
